Russian assist to Iran

May I make a sad observation? Zelensky appears to have aged 20 years in the past four.

This did not happen

Speaking of Trump and Sharpie...

During a Cabinet meeting on pressing national issues, President Donald Trump launched into a detailed story about securing custom Sharpie pens for $5 each — a claim Sharpie’s parent company denies. Trump framed the anecdote as proof of his cost-cutting instincts, contrasting the markers with $1,000 White House pens he criticized as wasteful. The lighthearted detour drew attention for overshadowing serious discussions on war and economic strain, while reviving memories of past Sharpie-related controversies.

Trump said Sharpie’s parent company offered to provide the pens for free, but he insisted on paying $5 each, casting it as a better deal than the costly pens previously used at the White House. He described the pens as 'hot as a pistol' and praised their performance. However, the claim drew skepticism since similar personalized Sharpies retail for under $2 online.

Newell Brands, which owns Sharpie, stated it had no information about the conversation or arrangement Trump described.

Just another story Trump made up.

No wonder Trump and RFKJr get on. They're both narcissists who love to make up ridiculous stories.

Who are "some dems" with this strategy? Fossils, I imagine. The same ones who thought it was a good idea to nominate Joe Biden in 2020, too wrapped in their DC bubble to know the rest of the country was ready for Bernie, or to follow where the public was trying to lead. Hopefully, they will not have the say this time.

Or maybe this is just Axios stirring shit.

Good for Cuba, though

I'm sure Putin got word to Trump.

It's Sunday

Pope Bob had a message for Trump and his ilk.

Pope Leo said on ‌Sunday that God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have "hands full of blood", in unusually forceful remarks as the Iran war entered its second month.

Addressing tens of thousands in St. Peter's Square on Palm Sunday, the celebration that opens the holy week leading up to Easter for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the pontiff called the conflict "atrocious" and said Jesus cannot be ⁠used to justify any wars.

[...]

"(Jesus) does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: 'Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood'," he said, citing a Bible passage.

Yeah, but MAGA Christians have rejected Jesus. They pray directly to their vengeful, warlike god. And worse, they do it in Jesus' name.

During an appeal at the end of Sunday's celebration, the pope lamented that ‌Christians ⁠in the Middle East "are suffering the consequences of an atrocious conflict" and may not be able to celebrate Easter.

I hope he didn't forget the Muslims. I feel confident he didn't.

The pope, who is known for choosing his words carefully, has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in the conflict and said on Monday that military airstrikes are indiscriminate and should be banned.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has started leading Christian prayer services at the Pentagon, prayed at a service on Wednesday for "overwhelming violence of action against ⁠those who deserve no mercy".

You heard him, Pete's God. And may I add, those who show no mercy deserve no mercy.

How's that "little excursion" going?

And Bibi has said he's not stopping.

Yeah, he probably shouldn't have put his threat to bomb Iran's energy sources as far out as April 6. He could have just put it at March 30, and then later at April 6, getting two market manipulation opportunities to make millions on insider trading.
